Will be going to the dyno in about 2 weeks to get the car retuned and dyno. Last trip i made 290/325 with the mods in my sig on a mustang dyno. hp is a lttle low becuase of the tko, well thats what they tell me lol. This trip i will have a vortech s-trim with 10 psi pulley / 42 pound injectors and 76mm calibrated maf/ 4 inch powerpipe/ and a 255 in tank. My tuner say probably around 400 hp to the wheels. i was kinda hoping for more so i want to hear you guys input. keep in mind this is musang dyno and not a dynojet. im well aware of the big difference the dynojet puts out becuase thats not actual wheel numbers. at least thats what they tell me again lol.
thanks

Closer to 500. Enough to split the stock block.

I'm guessing high 400's, nothing lower than 470. You can search for people with nearly the same mods you have and you'll get a fairly decent estimate off of that. Make sure you get video's too

If the blower pulleys are stock size, 6.87 on crank and 3.33 on blower I don't think you will see 10 psi on a good flowing set up like yours. With that said I would expect 450ish. Good luck.

1.21 Gigawatts!!!!!!

or 1,621,983 HP.

I'm with Turkey. You should fall btw 460 and 480. Be sure to let us know what you put down.

If we're going to make it an official contest than we have to give exact numbers. No tweeners.
Just like the Price is Right minus the "without going over" part.

With that in mind, I bid 420hp.

That's why when they asked me as we put my car how much I was estimating... I told them 85hp so I wouldn't be disappointed with the outcome

its kind of off subject but why would the tko make your hp read lower? Gear ratios dont change hp so I was curious?
